1. Each season, the league uses its findings to determine who is the "average" NBA player, with Thunder small forward Andre Roberson fitting the bill this season. The average player in the league is 26 years old, 6-foot-7, 219.05 pounds and has 4.8 seasons worth of NBA experience. Roberson, 26, is listed at 6-foot-7, 210 pounds and has played five seasons in the league. He awaits the start to his sixth season as he rehabs from patellar tendon surgery.

2. There are still two active players in the league who were born in the 1970s: Vince Carter and Dirk Nowitzki. Meanwhile, the youngest player in the league hadn’t been born when Michael Jordan won his sixth and final championship in 1998. Isaac Bonga of the Lakers was born on Nov. 8, 1999, meaning next year there will be an NBA active player born in 2000.

3. Another wild takeaway in the age category is that out of 440 players in the league, 418 of them are younger than 33-year-old LeBron James, who in his 16th season is still playing at an MVP level.

A few names that fit the average NBA height of 6-foot-7 inches tall: DeMar DeRozan, Luka Doncic, Draymond Green, Kawhi Leonard and Klay Thompson. Additionally, the Nets, Nuggets, Grizzlies and Kings all sport rosters with an average height of exactly 6-foot-7.

7. Despite having the NBA’s rebounding leader in 6-foot-11 Andre Drummond, the Detroit Pistons check in as the shortest team in the league overall (6 feet, 6.27 inches). The Washington Wizards are the NBA’s tallest squad on average at 6 feet, 8.15 inches.
